China, US Could Eliminate $20 Billion In Fossil Fuel Subsidies

Let’s examine those claims, shall we? Fossil fuels like oil have to get from where they come out of the ground to where they are refined. Then they have to be distributed to the places that sell them. Transportation makes use of roadways, bridges, rail systems, and waterways that are largely maintained by the taxpayers. You don’t hear ExxonMobil and BP demanding to pay more money to help support the infrastructure that makes their business model possible, do you? Not in this lifetime, brother. Whenever you hear someone complaining about a level playing field, it only means they are upset it is not tilted far enough in their favor.
